vi still needs your /usr partition mounted though, as well as termcap (and
curses?) I've occasionally had to use ed to edit stuff :) It's not bad for
a line editor, although I think I like PrimeOS (PrimOS?) EDIT better (the
only other line editor I've used, besides MSDOS EDLIN :) 

BTW, to the original poster who had trouble getting his editors to work:
Chances are you could've mounted /usr and any other partitions with "mount
-a" (or "mount /usr" to just mount /usr), then "export TERM=terminaltype"
to set your terminal type. That's usually enough to make editors happy...
